VIDEO | Delhi: Chairman of the Standing Committee on Finance Bharthari Mahtab on today's meeting says, "Other than the Department of Economic Affairs, we had a series of discussions during the last one year. As I remember, the first meeting that we had on virtual digital assets was last September, 2025. In between, we have interacted with a number of stakeholders, with RBI, with CBDT and with others who have registered themselves in different capacities to deal with virtual assets. Today, we had a round up discussion. We still have certain theories. The basic question that arises before this committee is, the government is not accepting virtual digital assets, does not want to regulate it, but not regulating it is also leaving greater scope for different types of indulgences." On the UPI issue, he adds, "That was not part of the proceedings today, but concerns were expressed. And after the new committee comes into existence in the month of October, I believe that committee will be taking it." (Full video available on PTI Videos - ptivideos.com)
